ASRock H55M Pro -> add a graphic card ? - Tobas - 2010-10-13
I've bought a ASRock H55M Pro motherboard with a Core i3 CPU and 4 GB DDR3-1333 memory.
Tonight i'm gonna install everything in my Antec Micro Fusion HTPC case, but i want to know does it handle 1080p video ok ?
Or do i have to add a video card ?
Is there someone on this forum with the same mobo, that can give me some info ?
Thanks
Tobas

That Core i3 CPU will tear through any video you throw at it. You will be fine.

Both the GPU and CPU will be able to decode 1080p content without any issue...
If you decide to run Linux and want to get hd video up & running using GPU acceleration, take a look at http://doityourselfhtpc.wordpress.com/2010/09/09/intel-core-i3-h264-gpu-acceleration-using-ubuntu-and-xbmc/
